I've always wondered what happened to some US Marines I and my mates met in Malta  summer 1968.  My father was in the Royal Air Force serving in Malta  We lived at Kalafrana south west of the Island. One day in that hot summer a landing craft from the USS Casa Grande came to our bay. We soon befriended the Marines on the craft. To a bunch of young 12 year old boys it was a dream come true. We invited them  into our homes went to the pictures with them and over two weeks had a great time. I know they were on route to Vietnam and  would love to know how they got on. Sadly I don't remember any of their names.  If  anyone might know how I could find out any info it would be great. I have contacted sites regarding the Casa Grande and as of yet had no replies. At the time I and my pals had no real idea what these young brave men were going into . It was only a few weeks ago the name of the ship came back to me, hence why it's taken so long for me to ask the question BN

Hello Anybody in Australia who might be able to help me. My name is David Arnold or Black Night to my Rootschat friends.
My sister Janette Received a letter Via our late parents address from Corinne Arnold and her Hubby Mick. they believe as I do that we are related. When my sister received the letter I was in hospital and not very well, (I'm glad to say I'm a lot better now) as I am the nutter who searches for relatives she (my sister) decided to pass the letter on to me, making sure I was well enough to do something about it.  Corinne was at the time trying to trace the Arnold family tree. What I need to know is    Wait for it      Is she a rootschatter. or would any body out there  know her or Mick.   My sister intends to reply to her letter now I'm well enough to answer her questions, but if and it's a big IF  if your out there Corinne send me a post so we can have a chat . happy hunting   BN

Dear Bob I've just found your post , so I'm sorry I haven't replied earlier. I have found out that my brother was still born on the records. I have now got a still-born certificate. This I acquired from the G.R.O. Because of the sensitivity with still-Born's they need to know info on the parents (if they are dead) ie. date of death then a brother/sister can get the info, they will send you an application form through the post. It does take a while but it's worth it. hope this helps. If I can help in any other way please get back to me, Dave.

My parents first child died soon after birth, I can't find any record of his birth or death. I think his name was Brian Arnold, but I'm not sure. my mother and father were married in March 1949,  and my oldest brother was born in May 1951. I've looked in the B.M.D. between these dates and found nothing, can anybody help. I believe he would have been registered in Walthamstow/West Ham London.
